Synopsis

Several years ago Ryan Robert noticed his niece was having body image issues. She obsessed about her weight and let it take control of her life. Eventually she even lost the confidence she once effortlessly displayed.

As an avid runner, Ryan knew if he was able to get his niece to start running she would gain self-confidence, better mental and physical acuity. It would also allow her a better focus on health rather than weight. Ryan started writing notes to his niece about different aspects of running. These notes became the impetus for his book Running Inspired.

Running Inspired provides a wealth of information for the non-runner and beginning runner. The book covers everything from proper form, to shoes, to running plans, and food. There is also information on how to stay motivated including visualization exercises. These are the tools Ryan used to teach his niece to run inspired and they will help you too.

Ryan's writing style is friendly, easy to read, and non-judgmental. If you have ever thought about running, even if you've never tried it, Running Inspired is the perfect place to start.

About this title

About the Author

Ryan Robert, MA, writes, runs, and edits in Alaska where his main claim to fame is being able to do all three at once. As a teacher and cross-country coach for a decade, and then a firefighter and trainer for firefighters for the Forest Service, he has learned what works with athletes, and what doesn't.



Ryan logs in almost 1500 miles a year running, and twice that back-country skiing, proving that it is truly possible to run virtually anywhere, anytime. He lives with his editor-in-chief and the two smallest critics in the world in Homer, Alaska.

"As an avid half marathoner, I suffered severely from a blood clot in my lung and was certain I would never run again. I turned to Running Inspired to find the confidence I needed to start over as well as expert tips on training, gear, nutrition and hydration. Most importantly, this book helped me to stay motivated and reach my goals. It is an all-inclusive resource for anyone who wants to start exercising, lose weight, or take on a new challenge in the face of adversity."

"Whether a beginner, an athlete returning to the sport after a break or a seasoned runner; there really is something for everyone here. Ryan has managed to put a wealth of information into this relatively small book. The fact that it takes into account the mental aspects of the sport, in addition to the physical, makes the book a winner."
